It should be at least 5:51 or longer, as I hear this track being mixed for that length in Bonkers 6.

6 minutes and 51 seconds. Confirmed from the audio supposed to be sourced from Beats24-7.

Whoever has it on CD, they should re-rip it as soon as possible. I've heard rumors from 2019 that these CD-r have degraded quality.
The problem with Beats24-7 is that I still dont know if it's sourced from higher than 256kbs mp3s or not. None of the 2 CDs I own have tracks that go beyond 21kHz, but only a few appear to have MP3 artifacting, but having seen how some Next Gen/Blatant Beats and digital DJ Fade stuff have been encoded, they can be deceptive.

I believe DJ Fade or Bananaman were behind Beats24-7, as almost the same kind of tracks appeared on another shortlived digital store, Festerheadz, which I believe was run by only DJ Fade. I bought a few tracks from there, and while all tracks were only 256kbps mp3s, they all reach 20kHz without artifacting, but as they are encoded using without a lowpass filter, that can mean that the whole tracks might have less quality compared to a lowpass filtered 256kbps file.

This got the same length like on the mix CD. Quite probably not the full track.

Sorry. But still littlebit harsh to give me a warning

Yep, accidents happen. We will remove the warning which is an overreaction.

Is it though? You gave a link to a track from a Bonkers album, which has never had any unmixed releases.

Sometimes things get leaked, Q91, so in those cases you can't link to a full version or a release page. I've got a request for another Innovate track where I had to link to it on Bonkers, too.

Ngl, I'd love if Dougal released an Innovate album with all their tracks, including all the unreleased stuff.

The one in this link is from the Bonkers CD.
